The purpose of this study was to describe group and individual characteristics of nighttime sleep-wake patterns among school-age children with cancer receiving inpatient chemotherapy.
This multiple-case study used wrist actigraphs and sleep diaries to measure sleep for three nights in 15 children with cancer.
Nighttime sleep was less than that required for healthy school-age children and was marked by frequent awakenings. Individual variation in sleep characteristics was evident.
Interventions to promote nighttime sleep in the hospital include system-based and individualized efforts to minimize disruptions and support children's home sleep routines.
本研究旨在描述接受住院化疗的学龄期癌症患儿夜间睡眠-清醒模式的群体和个体特征。
本多案例研究使用腕部活动记录仪和睡眠日记对15名癌症患儿的睡眠进行了三晚的测量。
夜间睡眠少于健康学龄儿童所需的睡眠时间,且频繁觉醒较为明显。睡眠特征的个体差异很明显。
在医院促进夜间睡眠的干预措施包括基于系统和个性化的努力,以尽量减少干扰并支持儿童的家庭睡眠习惯。
